Mila’s P.O.V.A few days had passed now since the night of Ebony’s birthday and the realization she had no wolf. She was still fragile, but in her usual way she made sure that everyone else was well taken cared of before herself. “Good morning Luna Mila, how are you today?” she said, with the brightest smile, “ha-ha and since when do you call me Luna Mila, and why so formal? But to give you an answer I am very well thank you Ebony and yourself?” she made me laugh, I’m not sure why she was suddenly so formal but I was happy to see her smiling, she walked close to me and whispered in my ear “your mother and Alpha Marcus are in a meeting with Elder Rolf, and a few others I don’t recognize, I’m not sure why they are here but it must be very important”. Elder Rolf? Elder Rolf is Alpha Marcus’ grandfather and Damon’s great grandfather, but he rarely visits. He still lives on pack grounds but as far away from the business as you can imagine. ‘Mila, Damon, would you both please come to the of
Mila’s P.O.V.The next morning I woke up far too early, the fear that I felt knowing Damon would be leaving for a few days was uncharacteristic for me, I blamed the mark. I knew he would be perfectly safe, and I knew deep down he would never allow another she-wolf anywhere near him, still I couldn’t shake the feeling that him leaving was a terrible idea. “I know you’re awake Mila”, caught red handed. “Mila, it’s going to be okay, I don’t like this anymore than you do peach, believe me. But it is for the best, and it’s still not safe for you to travel” Damon was trying to hide his own fears, but it was no good. The mate-bond was strong between us, and there was no hiding our feelings from the other. “I know, and I would only get in the way I’m sure, I just… I just wish it wasn’t necessary”. I spent the rest of the morning helping Damon pack a few essentials before we went down to breakfast.“Good morning lovebirds! And more lovebirds!” Chris was as cheerful as ever, the whole room was
Damon’s P.O.V.It was the final evening of our stay and I was so glad to know that in the morning I would be on my way back to Mila, I had so much to tell her, most of all about Alpha Fangar. I was packing up my things and heading outside when there was a knock at my door. “Come in!” I yelled, I turned around recognizing a familiar stench of heat, desire and lust. It was Kimi. “Sorry Kimi, I’m afraid you have caught me at a bad time I was just on my way out, you will –“ what was happening. Before I even had time to react, Kimi had launched herself towards me and pinned me to the floor, she was staring at me, with eyes black, was this her wolf? Or had her eyes always been this way? I wasn’t sure but for whatever reason I couldn’t move her, she was… strong. Stronger than me even, but that was impossible. She was of Alpha blood like I was, but even as alpha’s males are stronger than females, she would have been no match for me in a battle of muscles, but I couldn’t move, ‘father come qui
Mila’s P.O.V.It had been the longest three days of my life, but I knew that tomorrow Damon would be home, and all would be well again. Ebony had kept me close, as promised to Damon, I was barely out of her sight for more than an hour and she had kept me very busy, which I was secretly grateful for. She had decided to embrace the fact she had no wolf, but still keen to be a healer of the pack. We spent hours and hours going over old books of witches, and earth healers, going from page to page in the spell book that Alpha Marcus had once used to heal me, she wanted to understand more about the old witches and their magic, whether it was something you were born with or something you could learn. “Ebony, we have been reading the same book now for hours! I really don’t think you will get much more out of it than you already have”. I teased her, she was so focused, and it was a pleasure to see her immerse herself into something after all her heartache over being human. “Oh, I’m sorry Mila,
Mila’s P.O.V.It had been days since Demetri kidnapped me, I wasn’t sure if anyone would even still be looking for me or if they just accepted that I was gone now. Everyday Demetri came to visit me, he would bring food and water, and every day I refused. I was growing weaker, I could feel it inside me ‘we can do this Mila, we are not giving up. Not now. We just have to stay strong, think of a plan!’ it was Tae, she had been trying to reach me for days now, but like the food, I never spoke back. Instead, I sat there in silence, staring at a wall behind me. Never moving, barely even breathing at times. I wanted nothing more than to shrivel away into nothing. The emptiness I felt in my chest without Damon, it has been 8 days since I saw him last… I ached for him. I knew I would die here. The thought of it was horrific, not the death. I knew the moon goddess would take care of me, but for Damon, if the pain didn’t kill him, it would likely send him feral. Perhaps the moon goddess would sh
Jett’s P.O.V. She was a vision, the image of her mother! Demetri had done well, for once in his life. Although he would be nothing without Narcia, that stupid witch believes she is so madly in love with me that she would do anything to help us. I will play along for as long as necessary, for as long as she is useful. I do not often have use for women, Talia was an exception, she was everything to me. I could have given her so much more than that oaf Zachias! He was never good enough to be Alpha, I knew it from the start. But I kept him sweet, long enough for him to trust me so completely he could not see my desire to take his wife from him, and I did. She was mine, I had her where I wanted her. She would have learned to love me eventually, if she did not resist me so much! She could have been in ecstasy, I remember that day like it was yesterday. “Ah, Mila, how rude of me, I’ve been watching you grow for so long now, I had all but forgotten you don’t likely recognize me anymore.. my n
Damon’s P.O.V.Day 9. With every passing day, I grew weaker, I lost a little hope each time the sun set without Mila by my side, but it seemed like I was the only one. No one else had lost hope, every morning they would check in with any piece of information they had, they were clinging on to every detail. “What is the point anymore?!” the room fell silent. “Why are we even doing this, we have nothing! She could be anywhere, anywhere at all in the world and we would never know! Why are we even bothering with this false hope anymore” I broke down. I was trying to accept that she was gone, and my heart ached. “Damon, there is no such thing as false hope. Hope is all we have. And while ever there is those of us who love her, and want her back, then we will never give up hope. And I am ashamed of you. You of all people. Who never once left her side, when you were 7 she went to spend the week with her grandparents, and you followed her the whole way and slept outside their garden, 8 years
Damon’s P.O.V. It was Mila. I just knew it, I could feel her. She was in pain, Axel was howling for us to hurry and find her, he felt it too. In the vision I had, I saw a stream and a nearby mountain. Not much to go on usually, but I knew these lands, I knew the borders and I definitely knew that mountain! It was in the heart of Alpha Fangar’s territory, along the stream it bordered with our own but it was so far out we never suspected to look that far away for anything to do with the strangers. If only I had realized, she might be here with me now instead of me racing to find her alive. “Damon! Are you quite sure about this? You are certain its not just your desperation to find her?” My father was worried, I knew he wanted Mila back just as much as I did but I also knew he was wary of starting unfounded wars with neighboring packs. “I know it father, I know what I saw. It was her, she was trying to reach out to me, to make me see, to make me feel!” I had never been more sure of anyt
